Italy | Pisa | Duomo and Baptistry | Dec 2015

Built by Buscheto in 1064, the Duomo stands today as one of the finest Pisan-Romanesque buildings in Tuscany. Its wonderful four-tiered façade is a medley of creamy colonnades and intricate blind arcades. The circular Baptistry was begun in 1152 along Romanesque lines, and finished as century later in a more ornate Gothic style by Nicola and Giovanni Pisano. [DK Eyewitness Travel]
